the good news is that
the archive review was so comprehensive that it was an exception to our normal two part review system.
generally we like to do reviews in two parts, the first part lays out the skeleton of the review, describes the basic issues, and lists potential candidates to win the award.
then the subsequent week comes the final review.
so as far as deadlines - the real deadline is just that part 2 follow part 1 by one week.
other than that, if someone feels like they would be willing to do a guest review, there is no predefined deadline - though because we know how hard these things are it would probably be good idea to commit to some date and stick with it - otherwise its too tempting to keep putting it off and say "just one more week.." over and over.
the main qualifications or writing a review is seriousness and willingness to do a thorough job, similar to our previous reviews.
i am available to help a lot on any review, and the two-part process also lets people on the forum contribute ideas after part 1 is posted. reviewer also of course has to be open minded about the potential winner and not have ties to any of the software companies under consideration. some guest reviewes need more help+collaboration than others, but that's totally ok, i'm happy to help to whatever extent is desired.
a review of calendar/pim apps (or however you wanted to isolate it) is something people have been asking for so i can tell you it would be appreciated..
